These Jaguar mascot related door handles are mastered from a single handle made in the late '50s/ early '60s that
was rescued from a Jaguar showroom in Coventry which was being demolished/ refurbished - as far as is known,
this was the only place they were used - there were apparently a matching pair originally. An accurate mould was made from
the survivor and a mirror produced to obtain a matching left and right handed pair. They are ideal for your garage,
den or other Jaguar related entrance!
Some 16 inches long and sandcast in solid G1 Bronze, they are produced by a small foundry who really care about what
they make. Each handle weighs 2.5Kg or 5Kg for the pair.
They are available as a mirrored pair or singly in a strictly Limited Edition of 50 pairs maximum - each has
a place for your thumb to fit and they are wonderfully tactile as everyone who has tried them can well testify!

Note that the handles are currently available only cast in G1 Bronze.
A proposed Aluminium option did not always produce a good casting whereas the bronze is reliable. All castings always have small defects
but these are usually very small - they are all hand polished with care to a brilliant mirror finish at a local West Sussex foundry.
The undersides of the front and back 'feet' have been left undrilled so that you can tap/ mount them as you wish.
